NASAMultifunction Mars Base (3/4/2008)
On their way to perform surface experiments, two residents of the first Martian outpost pause to look at their home. Extensive use of natural Martian resources for propulsion would greatly reduce the cost of establishing such a base, and in addition to continued use for propulsion, material processing plants would provide products that would minimize reliance on the Earth-to-Mars supply line. NASA Glenn is a world leader in space power systems research. acrylic painting by Les Bossinas (Cortez III Service Corp.), 1991
